Central KY deputy coroner charged with strangulation, assault

A former Central Kentucky fire chief and deputy coroner was arrested and charged with strangulation and assault last month. Gerald Tatum, 54, who worked as a deputy coroner for the Madison County Coroner’s Office, was charged on Oct. 18 with first-degree strangulation and fourth-degree assault with minor injury, according to a uniform citation filed by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department. Both charges were related to domestic violence. The citation said the victim had “multiple areas of bruising and scratching around her nose and mouth” and she said Tatum used his hands to apply pressure to her nose and mouth for what seemed like at least 10 minutes, impeding her ability to breathe. Tatum is a past fire chief for the Richmond Fire Department. Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison, who provided surety for Tatum’s release on bond, said Tatum has since resigned from his position at the coroner’s office. Cornelison said Tatum “was a good employee for a long time.” Court records indicate Tatum was released on $5,000 cash bond the same day as his arrest. He was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim in the case. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 2 in Madison District Court.

KY pediatric nurse arrested after police say he squeezed girl, age 5, breaking a rib

A Richmond man who works as a pediatric nurse at the University of Kentucky has been arrested on multiple domestic violence charges, including attempted murder, and police allege he squeezed a 5-year-old family member so hard it broke her rib. An officer with the Richmond Police Department interviewed two sisters, ages 5 and 10, who both said Daniel Keate became angry with the 5-year-old and approached her from behind, grabbing her around the rib cage and squeezing with his hands, the officer wrote in a complaint warrant filed this week in Madison District Court. “The victim stated this was to the point that she could not breathe and she was in severe pain,” the officer wrote. The incident is alleged to have happened the morning of Aug. 13. An X-ray at UK confirmed the child, who had been complaining of pain in her left side, had a fractured rib that the doctor said was healing, was consistent with “squeezing” injuries and appeared to have happened within the past 12 weeks. Keate, 37, was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Tuesday in Madison County and charged with second-degree assault, domestic violence involving a child, and first-degree criminal abuse or neglect of a
